He asked his father for forgiveness.
, ?
Excuse me, do you speak Esperanto?
Two patterns, both correct: you forgive the person with , or the offence with . and are both heard, and neither will get you into trouble. As a standalone ! it does the work of both sorry and excuse me, so it is the single most useful word to have ready at a congress. Pardono is the noun; is to apologise.
